I was trying to think about what my ultimate purpose in life is. Why am in here?
I think it is help people.
I do not really expect much for me and in fact I would say that I have been given too much already.
I gave my sister a $24,000 car for $13,000 and then spent another $2000 getting fixed so that it is perfect. I did that because I knew I was helping her.
I gave others tens of thousands of dollars, not because I want something from them, but I felt I needed to help them and they were too proud to ask.
I have about 50-70 employees that work for me now and I live by a simple code. My job is to help them. I help them with education, financially and if they need it, emotionally. I will continue to have high expenses in our company, because my job is to help my employees and not simply to make money.
I run my business so passionately not to make money, but because I want to help people to get jobs and I love to educate them and I think a by product of that is that I make money.
I was being yelled at recently for giving so much money away. I thought about this, did I really do something wrong?
Maybe, maybe not, but you know what, that is who I am. I have always seen peoples hardships around me and tried to help as much as I can. Maybe I could have another $50,000 or $100,000 in the bank this year, if I did not help, but so what, how will that change my life. It will not.
This is the same reason that when I go out to eat and a bill is say $50, I will leave a $20 tip. Even when the bill is $20 I tend to leave a $20 tip, not to show off, but I feel like that $20 means more to the waitress then to me and I hope that this will be a small way to help out.
Last month I had enough money to buy the Bentley that I wanted, but Vasant called me and wanted me to send $13,500 to some girl in USA that needed to pay her college fees. He said that he could not pay me back for 2-3 months. He did not even have to say that. Vasant has helped me enough in life, that I would have just given him the money and he can pay me back when he wants or not pay it back, it does not matter. I will not ask nor will I think about it again.
I think I have to be who I am and live my life by my code. I am not sure why I have a need to help people, but I feel a sincere need to help people that I know need help.
Money does not matter much to me and if I have $100 in my bank or I have $100,000 in my bank I will be happy.
A very rich person one day told me that the greatest pleasure they had was watching their bank account grow. I sincerely hope I never ever become like that.
Everyone has their own way of thinking about things. But I hope this will give you a small idea of how I think and how I live. Even if I want to, I do not think that I can change, I am who I am.
